      Spent 4 years making fun of Herr Doktor Gorka and his underpowered Mustang. If you think I'm gonna bend the knee to Jill Biden's unchallenging degree, you've got another thought coming. I'll save it for the people who save lives.

      Ron Paul is often not referred to as "Doctor" in media reports, and he was an Air Force surgeon & practicing OB/GYN. eg, the NY Times calls him "Mr. Paul":https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/25/us/politics/ron-paul-hospital.html …

      Again, media reports rarely refer to Condoleezza Rice as "Doctor" even though she has a Ph.D. in political science, was Provost of Stanford University, & has spent most of the past four decades in academia.

          How often did you hear Charles Krauthammer or Michael Crichton, both graduates of Harvard Medical School, referred to as "doctor"?

          Meanwhile, roughly 99% of the people who are gung-ho for "Dr. Jill Biden" will laugh in your face if you offer a word of respect for the credentials of Dr. Ben Carson, an actual renowned Yale-educated brain surgeon.

          This whole “call me Dr.” thing seems to be most egregious w/ administrators from elementary through high school. Whether it’s justification for their insane comp packages or just low self-esteem, I find it strange.

          I am a Retired Commissioned Officer in the Marine Corps with the rank of Major. I call myself “The Major” on Twitter, then again it’s Twitter. I wouldn’t insist on being called Major or anything else in a public setting. It’s pretentious. Respect is earned not granted.
